Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 is amended as follows:
(1) in point 1, Table 1 is amended as follows:
(a) the entry concerning FCM substance No 856 is replaced by the following:
‘

yes
no
no
Only to be used in:
rigid poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) at a maximum level of 12 % at room temperature or below; or
at up to 40 % w/w in blends of styrene acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) repeat-use articles at room temperature or below, and when either in contact only with aqueous, acidic and/or low alcoholic (< 20 %) foodstuffs for less than 1 day, or when in contact only with dry foodstuffs for any duration of time.
’
(b) the following entries are inserted in numerical order of the FCM substance numbers:
‘
1061
80512-44-3
2,4,4′-trifluorobenzophenone
no
yes
no
Only to be used as a co-monomer in the manufacture of polyether ether ketone plastics up to 0,3 % w/w of the final material.
1063
1547-26-8
2,3,3,4,4,5,5-heptafluoro-1-pentene
no
yes
no
Only to be used together with tetrafluoroethylene and/or ethylene co-monomers to manufacture fluorocopolymers for application as polymer processing aid at up to 0,2 % w/w of the food contact material, and when the low-molecular mass fraction below 1 500 Da in the fluorocopolymer does not exceed 30 mg/kg.
1064
39318-18-8
tungsten oxide
yes
no
no
0,05
Stoichiometry: WOn, n = 2,72-2,90

mixture of methyl-branched and linear C14-C18 alkanamides, derived from fatty acids
yes
no
no
5
Only to be used in the manufacture of articles made of polyolefins, and which do not come into contact with foods for which food simulant D2 is assigned in Table 2 of Annex III.
(26)
’
(2) in point 3, in Table 3, the following entries are added:
‘
(25)
When used as reheat agent in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) verification of compliance with the specific migration limit is not required; in all other cases compliance with the specific migration limit shall be verified in accordance with Article 18; the specific migration limit is expressed as mg tungsten/kg food.
(26)
Migration of stearamide, listed in Table 1 under FCM substance No 306 to which no specific migration limit applies, shall be excluded from verification of the compliance of the migration of the mixture with the specific migration limit laid down for the mixture.
